The Bushmaster Varminter Rifle is a high quality, no nonsense AR-15 rifle made for serious varmint hunting, and can also double as a sniper rifle. To ensure accuracy, the Varminter features a free floated chrome-moly steel barrel, with a vented aluminum handguard that never touches the barrel to exert pressure during firing, thereby changing the barrel harmonics and effecting accuracy. The handguard is checkered providing a solid grip, and has a stud to attach a sling or bi-pod (not included). A flat top receiver with Picatinny rail provides a platform to mount optical sights with any standard Weaver or Picatinny rings (rings not included). The Varminter's 24" barrel is fluted to promote quicker cooling, and reduce weight; and has a rifling twist on one turn in nine inches to better stabilize shorter, high velocity, rapidly expanding bullets that hunters prefer for varmint hunting at long-range. To further promote the type of accurate shooting needed to hit small targets while varmint hunting or predator hunting at over 400 yards, the Bushmaster Varminter features a two-stage competition trigger that is adjustable for weight of pull and overtravel. The trigger is light and crisp and will not slam fire during cycling of the action. The Varminter features a fixed, rifle-length synthetic stock with an integral 1.25" sling loop, and a rubber butt-pad that provides positive shoulder purchase to prevent slippage. The rifle shoots 5.56 or 223 ammo and accepts standard AR-15 magazines. The Bushmaster Varminter is a super accurate, perfectly balanced AR-15 that handles well varmint hunting in broken, sagebrush hills, or grasslands, as well as predator hunting in the woods or mountains.
